      - Get picked by a wildly popular (within the party) President as his running mate and then do a fine job as his VP for eight years - Run against a factional candidate who scares most of the party and does nothing to reassure them https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1261009311515303942 …

      The party elite had real doubts about Biden (related to his age) and only rallied around to him when it became obvious that he was the only real alternative to Sanders. There was some shopping around earlier (hence the boomlets for Harris, Buttigieg, Bloomberg, etc.)

          Yup. Harris’s campaign and ideology was all over the place. Pete couldn’t reach beyond $200K+ whites. Bloomberg was a cold Republican once he started talking. Back to Biden to stop leftism.

          because voters knew him. not just name recognition, but a solid sense of who he is. this could be seen in the primary as unfamiliar candidates were easily defined negatively while efforts to change perceptions of sanders and biden bounced off them.

          I don’t know why political pundits never discuss the fact that in any election, the most personally likeable candidate has a big advantage.

          They rallied around him after he crushed in SC and it became obvious that he would dominate in the south like Hillary did before him, even though there were indicators that he would for months prior (demographic polling etc).
